This was the first R/C warship combat event I saw, at Chocolate Lake, Halifax in November 1995. Curt Stoke's Bismarck made short work of his friend's Invincible. The temperature was close to freezing and the soaked captain of the Invincible was shivering as he counted BB holes and vapour rose from his clothes. (My future wife thought the hobby was nuts!)
Annnd she was right wasn't she? I have the hole count from this battle. We did 2 of these battles. Invincible was sunk both times. I felt bad for my buddy. I enjoyed the kill but it seemed lopsided to me. This was Bismarck's first combat against another Combat Model.
